The NSW Minister for Better Regulation, Matt Kean, promised home buyers that they would be better protected from unscrupulous developers by a defect bond scheme that would provide money to pay for building defects.
However, the new law has been criticised by experts who argue it may not protect home buyers who are left paying for dodgy or unfinished building work.
